HOLI: Festival of Colors

Friday, 19 April, 2013 @
02:00 PM - 04:00 PM |
Cost:free!

On Friday, April 19, we will celebrate Holi on EIU's campus. If you've seen colorful faces on campus and wondered what it's all about, here's the deal.

* Holi is traditionally celebrated in India and Nepal, and is most often referred to as the 'Festival of Colors.' It is a celebration of spring, and friendship.

* Water + gulal + you. Holi starts with water, lots of it. Gulal is a food-based dye in powder form - that's where all the color comes from. We've ordered plenty for you to share with your friends.

* Pull some old clothes on (a white or light-colored t-shirt will show the dye best). Follow the music to the Library Quad on the afternoon of Friday, April 19, and color your cares away.

* Big thanks to University Board, Minority Affairs & Celebration of the Arts for their support. Thumbs up to our supporting RSO's: Asian American Association, International Student Association, Study Abroad Society and friends!
